Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records VortexCodex Crypto Widgets version 1.0.5 as active, updated 3mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
VortexCodex Crypto Widgets adds beautiful, lightweight cryptocurrency price displays to any WordPress site — no API key required.
Display types
Scrolling ticker — a smooth, seamless marquee of live prices (pauses on hover).
Price cards — a responsive grid of coin cards with price, 24h change and market cap.
Price table — rank, coin, price, 24h change, market cap and 24h volume.
Inline label — drop a live price right inside a sentence.
Sidebar widget — compact list or cards for any widget area.
Features
17,000+ coins supported via CoinGecko ids (bitcoin, ethereum, solana, …).
20 display currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY — even BTC and ETH.
Prices auto-refresh in the visitor’s browser without a page reload (optional).
Smart server-side caching — one upstream API call per cache window, no matter how much traffic you get. If the API is briefly unreachable, the last good prices are shown.
24h change shown in green/red with a customizable accent color.
Fully responsive, tiny footprint: one small CSS file and one dependency-free JS file, loaded only on pages that use a widget.
All attributes are optional; defaults are configured under Settings → VortexCodex Crypto. Shortcodes work in the block editor (Shortcode block), classic editor, and most page builders.
Pro version
A Pro add-on is available with historical price charts, 7-day sparkline cards, a visitor currency switcher, and a live crypto converter.
